This patchset updates the kvm userspace interface to what I hope will
be the long-term stable interface. Provisions are included for extending
the interface later. The patches address performance and cleanliness
concerns.

Searching the mailing list I figured that as soons as the interface seems
to be stable, kvm should/would switch to a system call based interface.
I assume the userspace interface might still change a lot, especially if
kvm is ported to new architectures.
But the general question is: do you still plan to switch to a syscall
interface?

What benefit would a syscall interface have?
